Huget was born in Mönchengladbach and started playing golf at Golf- und Landclub Schmitzhof when he was 12. He was part of the German National Team and competed internationally. He won bronze at the 1996 European Youths' Team Championship in Portugal, where the German team lost to Spain in the semi-final but beat a Swedish team with Henrik Stenson in the bronze match 4–3, thanks to Huget winning his singles match against Johan Girdo.[2]
Huget turned professional in 1998. He played on the Challenge Tour between 2001 and 2006 where he won the 2001 Galeria Kaufhof Pokal Challenge in Germany and the 2002 PGA Triveneta Terme Euganee International Open in Italy. On his way to victory at Golf Club della Montecchia, he shot a career best 9-under-par 63 in the third round.[3][4]
At the 2001 BMW International Open in Munich, he was, alongside Alex Čejka, the second best German behind Bernhard Langer after a 69 in the first round, but did not make the cut.[5]
In 2005, Huget made five starts on the European Tour but made no cuts.[1] After retiring from tour, he became a teaching pro at Osnabrücker Golf Club.[6]
In 2016, at the Niedersachsen-Bremen State Club Team Championship held at Golf Park Steinhuder Meer, Huget made a hole-in-one at the third playoff hole, a 305-meter par-4 hole.[7]
